Item 2.02.
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
(a)
On April 24, 2014, Key Technology, Inc. (the "Company") held an Investor Forum and issued a press release announcing its financial results for its fiscal 2014 second quarter ended March 31, 2014. Subsequent to the Investor Forum and press release, on April 29, 2014, the Company and its subsidiary, Visys N.V., entered into a settlement agreement with Tomra Systems ASA and Tomra Sorting N.V. (formerly BEST N.V.) resolving previously disclosed litigation in Belgium, the Netherlands and elsewhere related to alleged infringement of intellectual property rights owned by Tomra Sorting and Visys N.V. Under the settlement agreement, the parties settled all disputes and waived all future rights of action related to the subject matter of the pending proceedings, which will be withdrawn from the relevant court dockets. In addition, as part of the settlement, the Company has recorded an additional accrual in a pre-tax amount of approximately $550,000.
In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the accrual will be recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2014. On May 5, 2014, the Company updated its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to reflect the effect of the accrual and issued a press release announcing the updated results. As indicated in the May 5, 2014 press release, net income decreased by approximately $0.06 per share, to a loss of $0.11 per share, compared to the previously reported loss of $0.05 per share, for the second fiscal quarter of 2014
